Aussie Beef Pie

When it comes to Aussie food, the most popular, delicious dish is the classic Aussie beef pie. A true Aussie beef pie is crispy on the outside and juicy, tender in the inside.
Ingredients:

• beef mince seasoned with salt and pepper (heavy on the pepper)
• grated onions, carrot, garlic
• 1 tablespoon tomato puree
• chopped rosemary
• pastry
• beer
• 1 cup of water
• egg wash

Methods:

1. Heat a large pan with olive oil (be generous with the oil), saute the beef mince until brown, add the grated onions, carrot, garlic, chopped rosemary and cook until golden brown. Add a little beer to the mixture and cook until no liquid remains. Add 1 cup of water, turn the heat down and let it simmer for 1 hour.
2. Use a pastry roller to flatten the pastry. Prepare a baking tray and lay the flattened pastry on the bottom, cut our extra pastry and flatten these as well. Pour the beef mince filling into the baking try and top it off with that extra pastry. Use a knife to slightly decorate the surface of the pastry, slightly stab the pastry to let the air out when baking. Brush the egg wash on top of the pie so it provides a crispy texture when baked.
3. Place the pie in the oven for 40 minutes at 180 degree C.
